Comment on Show HN: I made dashy.io – an all in one app for your data, notifications, tools

Comments

Nice! This is something I have wanted to build myself. Not this exactly but in this space. I was thinking a daily brief / notification kind of thing.

My use case would be overdue or coming Microsoft Todos, upcoming calendars from 2 calendars. Tomorrow’s weather maybe. The hard thing is filtering it down to what I really want to pay attention to, as too many widgets would lead to overwhelm.

Will you make it so people can write their own widgets? That would make it very powerful.

I have a vague memory that Google offered something like this years ago. Probably not as good. But it is bugging me what that thing was! I think I used it once.

Yes, it's on my roadmap to let people create their own widgets, or at least to somehow customize the data that's displayed inside of one. Still working out the best way to implement that. Open to suggestions :)

For your use cases, are you talking about integrating with Microsoft Todos and other calendars?

hmm, I wonder what it was... I'll have to do some googling :)

I think it was this:

Shut down, but someone has made a homage to it:

oh wow. yes, I can see the resemblance. Thank you for the link!
